2 1/2 cups sugar, 1 1/2 of water, 1/2 of vinegar. Do not stir. Cool quickly and pull.
Butter Scotch.
1 cup molasses, 1 of brown sugar, 1/2 of butter. When nearly done, add a little grated nutmeg, and if wished to be pulled, a pinch of soda.
Corn Candy.
Pop the corn, pick out all that is good, and pound it a little, just enough to crack it. Boil about 2 teacups of molasses and a little sugar, with a piece of butter, size of a walnut. Then (when the mixture is boiled about as much as for candy), stir in the corn, and pour into buttered tins.
Orange Drops.
Grate the rind of 1 orange and squeeze the juice, taking care to reject the seeds. Add to this a pinch of tartaric acid, then stir in confectioner's sugar till it is stiff enough to form in balls the size of a small marble.
Honey Candy.
3 cups sugar, 1 of water, 3 tablespoons honey. Boil till fit for pulling.
